• Notes

  Also called Mercy Bracy. Wikitree identifies her as the Mary Beere who was born at Newport, Rhode Island 6 Aug 1666 to John and Patience Beere, pointing to her listing in Torrey's New England Marriages that gives her birth date as "ca 1668/75?". But both The History and Genealogy of the Cornish Families and the distinguished Settlers of the Beekman Patent (citation details for both below) say she came from England.
